Arizona cooldown musings

Every fall there is one day that is special.

It's the day when you leave your home and you're no longer met by a wall of warm air. For the first time in a long time the temperature outside is lower than inside, and after the long hot summer that is a novel and welcome feeling.

This year that day was yesterday. Just before midnight and just after a still evening rain, to be precise.

The days still feel like summer by any non-Arizona standard, but the nights are now wonderfully refreshing. We're entering that perfect time of year when it's pleasant pretty much all around - never too hot, never too cold.
